Traffic Mitigation Fee (TMF)

The Traffic Mitigation Fee (TMF) is a charge imposed by port authorities to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow by encouraging the movement of cargo during off-peak hours at busy ports.
The Traffic Mitigation Fee is designed to incentivize shippers and carriers to schedule cargo pickups and deliveries during less congested times, typically nights and weekends. By doing so, the TMF aims to alleviate daytime traffic congestion, enhance port efficiency, and improve air quality by reducing the number of trucks on the roads during peak hours. The fee structure varies depending on the port and the time of day the cargo is moved. Implementing a TMF helps to distribute traffic more evenly throughout the day, leading to faster turnaround times, reduced wait times for trucks, and overall better port operations. For businesses, planning around the TMF can lead to cost savings and more predictable delivery schedules.
